Early Placement of an Implant in a Maxillary Left First Premolar Site
Clinical Case Report
Clinical Case Report
In the fall of 2003, a female patient was referred to the School of Dental Medicine, University of Geneva, for treatment of a traumatic fracture of a maxillary left lateral incisor. While at home, the patient fell down and hit a heating radiator with the anterior maxilla. During the initial examination, a week after the accident, the patient was in good general health condition and signs of pain/discomfort or clinical/radiographic infection were not observed. A moderate and localized hematoma with associated swelling persisted on the left side of the upper lip. Clinical assessment revealed a horizontal fracture at the cervical third of the anatomic crown of the maxillary left lateral incisor. In addition, a vertical crack line projecting into the cementoenamel junction (CEJ) called for a comprehensive assessment of the tooth restorability options.
